Well, atm I'm looking for what should be in #else clause or elsewhere in the
code if I did something like:
#ifndef HAVE_UUID_BSD
extern Datum uuid_hash(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
#else
extern Datum uuid_hash2(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
#endif
that would still make the uuid_hash available in the SQL language. I'd be
happy to write some migration utilities, once I get more familiar with the
code. Right now, I'm just trying to make a drop-in replacement for the ossp-
uuid module.
